It starts a bit slow with only a few things to do, at least until you unlock a few more tools, machines and areas. Once it reaches its flow and you’re taking care of your crops and animals, fishing, mining, cooking and growing your community, the game gets hard to put down. Story wise it didn't grab my attention the same way the base game did but that wasn't really a dealbreaker since it's mostly there to progress the farming and community.
The DLC has a few problems going from some QOL to it crashing a few times throughout my playthrough, mostly when using the fasttravel system or during the fishing game, and I'm currently experiencing a bug where certain NPC's don't show up locking me out of 100% completion (need one more crop, two friends and a few recipes and I'm assuming they're all related). But besides those things I'm impressed with this DLC especially at its price point!
Edit: the bug with the NPC not showing up is fixed so now I have that sweet 100% completion
Great game that overflows with care and passion from the devs but made me a bit too frustrated at times to truly love it.
Spirit Tracks has the same charm as Phantom Hourglass but the gimmicky gameplay (why is every single action tied to the touchscreen???) just isn't fun to play with and I'm glad that it's only those two games that are like this.
